Release details
Macanese lettuce is a fusion cuisine based on Portuguese cuisine that incorporates ingredients, spices and cooking methods from China, Africa, India, Japan, Malaysia and South Asian countries. Although Macau's native cuisine is greatly influenced by Chinese and Portuguese cuisine, it has its own unique features.
In the middle of the sixteenth century, the Portuguese settled in Macau, along with people of different ethnicities such as Africa, India, Japan, Malaysia and South Asian countries, and the Macao lettuce was born.
Exemption from treatment

This simple dish is made with minced meat (beef or pork or a mixture of both) and seasoned with light and dark soy sauce (light and dark soy sauce), salt, pepper and crepe sauce (Worcester sauce). Meat must be sautéed over medium to high heat until loose and even. The cure is accompanied by potato chips, rice is served, or poached eggs can be added. The marmoted egg is related to the religious beliefs of the Macanese, and the egg yolk in the center of the egg white represents the color of the Holy See. In addition to pork and beef, the cure can also be flavored with fish fillets (preferably sea bass or grouper), chicken or other poultry, and other condiments, spices and ingredients such as shrimp paste, turmeric (turmeric) powder, bitter melon and plum vegetables.

After marinating, it needs to be left to stand for at least two to three months, and after full fermentation, it can become a fine salted shrimp paste. The rice balls that usually accompany this dish are made by adding lard and green onions, cooking, and then flattening and cutting into cubes.
